I've been trying to decide whether to order candles from Quick Candles, or Candles4Less.. and I noticed that the shipping charge from Candles4Less is $50!!! While the shipping charge for Quick Candles is only $15.. that's a huge difference.. for the same exact thing.....I wonder why it is so expensive??

    I used quickcandles and they were great. A couple of the votives I ordered were damaged during shipping and they quickly sent replacements.

    I used Candles4Less, but bought them on Amazon.  They had the exact same votives that I wanted -- I guess they don't just sell on their own website but also on Amazon.  I got 72 white votives and 72 pink votive holders for $36.99 and the shipping was only $14.99 on Amazon.  

    Their customer service was phenomenal -- they accidentally sent me 36 turquoise and 36 pink holders when I ordered all pink.  I contacted them and they actually called me that day (guess they got my # through Amazon) apologizing profusely and saying that was not up to their standards, and they sent me 72 more pink holders for free immediately and let me keep what they had sent.  It actually worked out in my favor because our colors are pink and turquoise so now I have both!  So yes, check them out on Amazon, they may have the same things you were looking to order off their site!

    thanks for the suggestion.. I will check out Amazon... the thing is, Candles4Less has a coupon code I can use on their website (I think it was 10 or 20% off), but I won't be able to use that on Amazon.. so in the end, QuickCandles will be cheaper...
    its just odd that shipping would be so expensive.

    I used candles4less, but caught them during a promotion and got reduced shipping. They were delievered without any damage.  But also keep in mind that the candles and votives can be heavy depending on how many you're getting, which is why the cost is so high. I couldn't even lift the box!

    check retailmenot.com for coupon codes...I used one for quickcandles - I think it was 15% off, but I'm not positive on the amount.

    I was very happy with quickcandles.

    Not that's it's a huge difference, but any savings is a savings so I'd figure I'd pass it along.
    "TENOK" and "superquick" are discount codes for 10% off an order from quickcandles (TENOK is only if the order is over $100 - I'm pretty sure that's the one I used for my discount).
